Mwahaha! My 10 month old reacts the same way when you don't immediately give him an eating utensil to chew on at any restaurant! Or the remote control to the TV. Or a handful of cheerios when his siblings are eating... Ah I LOVE this phase.

Oh my goodness! That is exactly the face and overall reaction my 2 year old brother has whenever we don't let him try, have a bit or sip of anything he wants while we're out to eat. He's under the impression that 'what's yours is mine' a hundred percent of the time. These are the funniest <3

Aw, poor Toby. Next time you should bring along a bottle of apple juice (clear, so that you can see its amber color) and see if it tricks him into believing he's having the same thing you are... It could work, I think! ;)

Btw, this reminded me of a funny moment with my 3 year old niece a few weeks ago. My sis-in-law was upstairs and we had just poured each other glasses of white zinfadel, when Mia came and sat next to me and asked what was in my glass."Uh... it's grown-up juice. It's for when you're old like me and mommy." She looked a little confused, but when I told her it tasted like medicine she bought it and went and grabbed her sippy cup and we read a book. Haha.

My little guy does the same thing... So we just ask for an extra glass and put water/juice/milk and let him taste that. We tell him that that is his cup and this is Mommies cup. Maybe we are indulging him a bit but sometimes you just have to do what works in the moment

when my baby brother (now 21) was younger, he used to hide behind my dads chair at dinner parties and wait for him to get up so he could sneak a sip of his beer. i'm talking... at three years old. one time, a party guest snapped a photo of him reaching for a beer bottle. my parents were horrified! i am happy to report that he is a) not an alcoholic b) got a full ride to college. so, it's all good.

That is too funny!! I know how you feel little man! He is so adorable even though he is crying, poor munchkin.

There is actually a framed photo at my parents house of me and my dad at my first birthday and he is giving me a sip of beer from his bottle. This was Europe though, nobody batted an eye. I'm sure people would have been all sorts of horrified here.

Ha! This just happened yesterday with my daughter in an Italian restaurant when I wouldn't let her drink my wine ... Toby's quivering lip in the first picture is perfectly captured! Hope he recovered from the deprivation quickly! Ours was diverted by the arrival of a bowl of olives (her current favourite food!) xxx

that's fantastic! i love it :) the other night my 2-and-a-half year old neice said to a guest we had at the house "sally, would you like some water?" and when she responded no thank you, she snagged the beer bottle my boyfriend had on the table and said "would you like a beer?" hahahaa.

this is so precious. when i was younger i also wanted to try beer since a lot of my family drank it. i would usually carry all of their cans to the kitchen and lick the little bits that hung around in the edge of the can! it tasted horrible then but everyone else did it so I felt left out.

My parents let me try a sip of beer when I was a little younger than Toby (maybe 9 or 10 months?) because I kept trying to steal my dad's beer. They thought I'd hate it and stop trying to drink it, but I loved it, and one of my first words was "beer!" Guess that plan backfired, huh?

So cute! Thanks for posting. My little man is nearly a year old as well and has just started having similar reactions to all sorts of things. It is now my goal to capture one to share with him when he's older.

Both of my babies loved beer (one is a tad younger than Toby and still does that when I won't let him have a bottle). My daughter changed her mind about the stuff somewhere around two years old. She told a friend of mine once, "I can't drink beer......but I waaaant to!"

Such a cutie, really! It reminds me of my daughter who has started her tantrums...especially when it's time for "apéro" time here in France ("happy hour"? after work or just to celebrate the beginning of the weekend break etc). She calms down once her "sirop à la grenadine" is in front of her:)

My friend's son was enamored with wine from babyhood. His father was a big oenophile. Once, when he was a toddler, he came staggering (well, okay, toddling, which looks kinda like staggering) out of the kitchen clutching a bottle of wine. Pausing in front of the assembled dinner party, he proceeded to swig wine straight from the bottle!

super funny! the progression as toby works up to the full scream is awesome. our little man tries to grab every beer bottle that's remotely close to him too. we have to tell him "20 more years, buddy" all the time.

I have these type of hilarious/tense parenting moments quite often -my daughter's two-and-a-half. We obliged her and put orange juice in a wine glass -adorable and distubing at the same time to watch her -oh so carefully- drink it. I'm just hoping she doesn't mention that she drinks wine to her daycare teacher!

So precious! When I was a kid my stepdad would pour two little bitty drops into the bottle cap every once in a while at home and I LOVED it. By the time I was old enough to know what beer was I thought it was disgusting, though.... Fortunately I've come 'round again.
